weekend

Reagan's restaurant.

It was the day and time of the Reagan family's traditional weekend dinner, and everyone was at the same table no matter where they were or what they were busy with. It's just that the atmosphere of dinner, which has always been happy, seems a little low, depressing, and gloomy today. Because the theme of this dinner party is naturally all focused on James's current troubles, and it has so far not only not seemed to have any tendency to be resolved, but has shown that it is becoming more and more troublesome.

……

"Daniel, how is it going that you caught that Zhou Nisen?"

Daniel, "The prosecutors told us that they were not prepared to file charges against him. So, we had to let people go. ”

James, "I'm not going to file a complaint?" I saw with my own eyes that he had a hand-held hand. ”

Daniel, "The prosecutor said that it was so dark that people couldn't see clearly, so it could be a water gun, it could be a wooden gun, it could be a toy gun, or even just a finger to make a gun. So, let's find the female victim anyway. ”

Several people looked at Frank who was eating at the same time, and Frank raised his head to know what several people were thinking, so he began to express his personal opinion.

Frank," said the prosecutor, and there was nothing wrong with that. In cases where there is no sure victory, it is also a wise choice for the prosecutor to give up. ”

Daniel, "He just doesn't want to take risks." ”

"It's normal, and a lot of the media is focusing on it right now. It's human beings, and they don't want to make mistakes at this time. ”

Frank turned his head to look at James, his eyes a little worried.

Frank, "James, what's going on with the Internal Security Department there?"

James, "came to me three more times, and kept asking me why I was there." And ......"

Frank, "What else?"

James, "Who's that red-haired girl I'm talking to?"

Frank, "Who's that red-haired girl?"

James, "I don't really know each other, but I met in the movie theater and talked about it for two sentences and was interested in the content of the movie, and nothing else." ”

Frank began to think seriously, and the way Frank was thinking was immediately noticed by everyone.

Linda, "What's up, is it going to be troublesome?"

Frank didn't speak, but looked at Daniel and motioned for Daniel to give his opinion.

Daniel, "There shouldn't be anything, right? The internal security department is always like this, and when something happens, it will always suspect its own people." Why are you there? Who have you met, what have you said, all the time? ”

Frank looked at James, who shook his head, saying that he didn't speak much more than Daniel.

When Frank turned his head to look at old Regan, he suddenly saw Du Pingping, who had been sitting next to Old Regan, so he looked at Du Pingping.

Frank, "Du, any ideas?"

"Is it time and frequency?"

Frank," you say. ”

"After hearing Susan say that the internal security department would intervene, I studied the relevant rules of the internal security department. The incident took place only 3 days ago, which is normal if it was just an internal inquiry. But 4 times, there is a problem. And every time they were interrogated, it was not that they had any new evidence and information, but that every time they repeated the first question, it was very suspicious. The strangest thing is that their focus will be on trying to lure James to the red-haired beauty they meet at the movie theater. It's going to feel a bit of a conspiracy at this point. Moreover, less than 12 hours after the incident, the Department of Internal Security was able to find someone to confirm that James had spoken to a red-haired beauty in the movie theater. It's also very weird!"

Frank, "What's weird?"

"Except for someone who kept an eye on James." Or maybe someone kept staring at the redhead. And it's also a person within the police, so the information will be transmitted so quickly. ”

Frank didn't speak, just looked at old Regan.

Grandpa smiled, "Actually, it's normal to have some small stories and small plots in it. When people are in high places, there will be many people who are staring, envious, and red-eyed! Therefore, it is normal for some people to want nothing to become something, and small things to become big things. The key is how we are prepared to respond and how to respond. ”

Frank, "Any suggestions?"

Grandpa said seriously and seriously, "The matter of that red-haired beauty, Du should be right in his judgment." There must be a problem! And it could be a very serious problem! But we must not touch it now! It may be a trap when we touch it, and nothing will become something. As long as the witnesses are found, the guns are found, the video footage is found, or the Chow Neeson pleads guilty, then the James affair can be characterized as an accident discovered in the pursuit of the criminal, and it will be over. The internal security department wanted to find something more, and there was no excuse. Then we can have enough time to figure out who is trying to do what kind of thing! So, my advice is to move and be still. Daniel has to find a way to speed up the progress of the work here, and the internal security department will act as if he doesn't know anything and doesn't do anything. ”

Frank nodded, looking at Daniel and James.

Frank, "Got it?"

Brother Daniel nodded at the same time, "Understood." ”

Daniel's phone suddenly started vibrating, and Daniel picked it up and apologized to everyone.

Daniel," was Henry's call. ”

Daniel took his phone and walked out of the restaurant to answer the call from his closest partner, friend Henry. The call didn't last long, but when Daniel came back from answering the phone from outside, his whole face became gloomy again. There was very bad news from Henry, still related to James's current troubles.

Daniel, "Chou Nison died, shot in a street car. ”

Zhou Nisen is a very important witness, although he has been released by the police, but everyone still expects to get an important testimony from him. So the news immediately made everyone at the table a little depressed.

At this time, old Reagan stood up and tapped his glass with the spoon in his hand, indicating that he wanted to speak.

Grandpa, "The Reagan family is a family with important social influence! But this kind of social status and influence does not fall on our heads casually, just like students go to school exams, from time to time we have to face a big or small exam, if the exam is not good, it will affect our final grades, and even cause us to repeat a grade and get out of class." This is the price, the inevitable situation that everything we have brings to us. We can't avoid it, we can't refuse, and what we have to consider at this time is not who gave us a problem, but to overcome it and do a good job in it! Tell everyone with facts that the Reagan family is worthy of its current social status!"

…………………………

It's a dark night in New York, a corner of a lively road that seems to never stop. In a quiet, dark alley, several police cars with flashing red and blue lights are parked, and at a narrow yellow separation line, two patrol officers are blocking onlookers. Daniel drove his car to the side of the road, jumped out of the car, and when he walked this way, Henry, who had been waiting here for a long time, lowered his head and crossed the barrier and walked towards Daniel.

Daniel, "What's the situation?"

Henry, "An hour ago, was found dead in a car on the side of the road. The forensic doctor is conducting a preliminary examination. You also see that this is a remote alley, and who knows how long it had been dead when it was found. ”

The two men crossed the barrier together, and walked side by side towards a dark blue Balu Sun leopard that was being turned around by several forensic doctors, and a dark blue Balu Xun leopard that was opening the side door.

Daniel, "The car looks familiar. ”

Henry, "Of course it's familiar, it's the car we checked that escaped from James's crime scene." We also got this moving photo of it before, and its name is NUQ1724. Impressions, right?"

Daniel, "There it is! She's a good car." ”

Henry, "However, after the killing, it can only be found in the city's scrapyard in the future." ”

Daniel, "Or be remodeled and then sold to a greedy man." ”

Henry, "Yes, this is a very lucrative business, there will always be greedy people who buy some second-hand cars of unknown origin, not to mention that this car is in very good condition." ”

As the two spoke, they had come to the open side door, and the man they had met yesterday, Zhou Nissen, was lying on his back in the driver's seat. Facing up, with a tiny muzzle of a black hole in his forehead, the seat behind him didn't have the traditional blood-soaked scenery that Daniel had imagined.

Daniel asked the question on his mind, "What's going on?"

The forensic doctor on one side immediately explained to him, "The special bullet reduces the amount of gunpowder in the bullet, and after the bullet is fired, it can only penetrate the skull on this side, but not through the skull on that side." As a result, the warhead will form a constant ricochet in the brain, and the victim's brain will be broken into a pulp. Of course, he will die on the spot. ”

Daniel, "Professional Killer?"

The medical examiner, "Yes, this bullet, nowhere will it be produced." Only professionals will configure it individually according to their preferences and the needs of each job. ”

Daniel, "This one is a killer?"

Forensic medicine, "It should be said that he is a rather professional master." People who have just entered the industry will only rush to complete their tasks and will not pay attention to some details. ”

Daniel, "Looks like this is a sophisticated killer." ”

Forensic doctor, "Yes, he pays considerable attention to detail!"

The medical examiner pointed to the fact that there was almost no blood and praised, "It can be said to be perfect." ”

…………………………

In Regan's living room, Daniel, Naomi, James, Due, and Susan had all left, leaving only Regan, Frank, and Linda, who were doing their work in the kitchen. Old Reagan picked up the bottle and poured a glass of whiskey for Frank.

Grandpa, "Are you anxious? Are you worried?"

Frank took the glass and took a sip, "Well, I'm a little worried. ”

Grandpa, "Don't blame James, it's Regan's instinct, and when this kind of thing happens, whether it's you, me, or Daniel, it's going to be this choice." ”

Frank, "I have no grudge against James. He's a good boy, and I hope it doesn't affect him. ”

Grandpa, "Only after going through the wind and rain can a man really grow." Do you remember when I was the head of the bureau, a young police detective of the Anti-Narcotics Unit was found in his locker with white contraband powder?"

Frank, "Father, I was wronged that time. ”

Grandpa, "Yes." But at that time, the internal security department came to my office and asked what should I do?"

Frank, "Your answer is ......?"

Grandpa recounted the words at that time with the same momentum as he had replied to the officials of the Ministry of Internal Security, "I also want to know what the situation is in this matter, so please send your best detectives!"

Frank, "What's your opinion?"

Grandpa, "Do you remember the internal security agent who handled your case at that time?"

Frank, "Yes! Zomus, a guy with a bad temper, and it seems that everyone doesn't like him, including their own internal security department. ”

"You're wrong!" do you want to know what I think of Estimus?"

Frank, "Please tell me!"

Grandpa looked serious, "Zomus is a good police detective! Although he has a bad temper, he is very fair and never participates in any internal political struggles. Such people are a valuable resource for the police department and should be protected at all times. Although they sometimes keep getting into trouble, there will be people who keep complaining and even trying to kick them out of the police force. But they are important. ”

Frank, "I kind of see what you mean. ”

Grandpa, "What do you understand?"

"Tomorrow, I'm going to put a better detective for the Department of Internal Security, the kind of absolutely impartial, competent detective to take charge of this case." ”

Grandpa, "Is there anyone else like this?"

Frank, "Of course. I didn't know what to do with him before, but now I find that he is indeed a treasure. ”

Grandpa, "There are no people who don't have any use, only people who won't use them." ”

Old Regan's words seemed to open up some of Frank's inner entanglements, and he began to look happily at the whiskey he had just taken a sip in his hand.

Frank, "This bottle of whiskey tastes great!"

Grandpa, "I think you're in a better mood, right?"

Frank's glass touched.

Frank, "Cheers!"

Grandpa, "Cheers." ”

…………………………

Susan's car was slowly driving on the way back to NYU.

"Susan, am I from the Reagan family?"

Susan, "Yes, you always have. ”

"I have some ideas that I don't know if I should do or not. ”

Susan, "What's the idea?"

"Actually, I also have some friends. Since it is an event for the Orientals, it is possible that they will have special channels. ”

Susan, "You're worried that there's no progress in Daniel's. ”

"Quite possibly. In the art of power in the East, human life is often just a kind of chess piece, and now I seem to have some such feelings again. ”

Susan, "What are you worried about?"

Du Pingping, "The dead die quickly." Liso is like a pawn in the hands of a big man!"

Susan, "You mean Chow Nissen?"

"Yes, I didn't expect such a thing to happen! But if such a thing had happened, and human life had become a mere pawn thing, then it would not have been easy or easy for James to find a breakthrough from the Orientals." ”

Susan, "You want to crack it?"

"No, there is some truth to it, but my real idea is to solve James's troubles." ”

Susan seemed to really understand what Du Ping wanted to say, so she thought about it seriously, and then looked up at Du Ping.

Susan, "Is there really a way?"

"You know, I'm from the East. I still have some friends there."

Susan, "Thank you then." ”

"I'm from the Reagan family?"

Susan, "Yes. ”

"Then you don't need to thank you." ”

…………………………

In the morning, outside Daniel's office, Daniel met James.

James, "How?"

Daniel, "Nothing has progressed. As soon as Zhou Nisen died, the matter was completely broken. ”

James, "Isn't there another girl?"

"Of course I know of a girl, but if someone could give me more information than just 'Oriental, yellow-skinned, thin, shawl-haired,' maybe I'd make some progress." ”

James, "I'm sorry!"

Daniel, "Nothing! But you shouldn't be here, and you shouldn't be bothered with the case." ”

James, "I was just called over again by the Department of Internal Security, and then I happened to pass by here and happened to run into you." ”

Daniel, "Exactly?"

James, "Yes. ”

Daniel, "The Internal Security Department is looking for you again?"

James, "yes! just over. ”

Daniel, "How many times is this?"

James, "5th." ”

Daniel, "What's new about them. ”

James, "No, it's still the same." ”

…………………………

In Frank's office, the head of the NYPD's internal security department was looking in amazement at an order in his hand.

Minister, "Director, you're not kidding, are you?"

Frank, "No, I'm serious. ”

Minister, "This guy is a madman and completely out of control. ”

Frank, "No, I think he's the most suitable. Although his emotional intelligence is somewhat problematic, his fairness and ability are unquestionable. I believe that no one will doubt the report he has made during his investigation. ”

Minister, "Director!"

"Friend, this case is important! A lot of people, a lot of media are watching it, so we can't take a wrong step. Isn't that right?"

Minister, "But, he ......"

Anyone who investigates his resume will only come to the conclusion that he is a very capable guy, but he doesn't know how to behave, doesn't belong to any of the past and present internal factions, and doesn't give face to anyone, including me, Frank. ”

Minister, "No, it's too dangerous!"

Frank, "No! ”

Frank looked at the head of the internal security department without refusal, as if he could see all his careful thoughts.
